LSU vs Texas A&M: the Facebook Challenge

Reported by Logan Leger on Fri, Jul 31st, 2009 in Community and tagged: , , , , ,

Eleven days ago, Texas A&M issued a press release to rally its fan base on Facebook. In it, they noted that LSU had, at the time, the largest Facebook fan base at 56,000. Over the past week, they’ve engaged their fan base and have added more features to their page. Yesterday they issued another press release claiming that they now had the largest Facebook fan base of any university-sponsored page. Because of this challenge, they added around 16,000 fans, which is four times the amount that LSU added in the same timeframe.

They are, of course, claiming that they have the greatest fans in the world. Not only is this a ridiculous claim, but it’s utterly inaccurate. LSU has what Texas A&M could never have: a reason for its fans to be passionate. And we’ve shown time and time again that we are the best fans in the world. Now it’s time to do it once again. Let’s shut those freaking Aggies up. We’re currently 1,600 fans behind A&M—an easy feat for LSU.

Become a fan of LSU on Facebook now.

(Also, LSU, it would be nice if you hired a social media expert to take charge of your online brand. Just saying.)
